Week 3 - Granny Challenge

Since last week I have got rather carried away with making squares and have lost count of how many I have made. I am now starting over again with the same colours, but in reverse order of centres and outer coloured round.

I am being good and trying to keep sewing the ends in quite frequently, see my comment's in last weeks post.

The picture above show some of the squares I have made this week and I am now making a start on blocking the squares before assembling them into a blanket. You don't really have to do this, but since so much work goes into making the blanket, I just want to do it all properly. Like the old saying ' if a jobs worth doing, its worth doing well'

I am hoping to get some more completed on Friday 19th April as I am going on Beautiful Things outing to a lovely shop called the Crochet Chain in Waltham Abbey where we are to enjoy a couple of hours working away on our crochet whilst we all natter and enjoy the company and a cuppa.

About Me

I am Christine, Mother to Claire Mackaness (Owner and operator of Beautiful Things Craft Classes). I love most crafts but am currently enjoying a spot of crochet. I hope to get back into my cardmaking again shortly and am possibly tempted to dust off my sewing machine! This is where I am going to document my crafty journey amongst other interesting things.
